      Ahhhh Ball up Benny, really one of the first guys we used well in the modern age of loading someone up with handball receives coming off halfback. One of the nicer Swans I've met, too- was really good with kids and very giving of his time. Even though you can't gift a guy games, I always did feel sorry for him to be stranded on 198.
      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

          Craig Bolton is not upset about that.

              No, I imagine it's something that fans are dissapointed by at career's end more than players. 198 games is a pretty decent whack at the top level.

                  It is a bit sad.
                  Bolton said of his 199, that he was happy to have beaten his good mate, Benny by 1 game, so that is more important than 200 to him.
